customers waiting for me.
(10:03:08) lxmaier: go ahead
(10:03:28) BruderTux: all righty:
(10:03:53) BruderTux: Yesterday we collected the booth furniture from
the RH Storage
(10:04:18) BruderTux: unfortunately the booth color is red, which
cannot be easily changed.
(10:04:31) BruderTux: We have 4 demo pods plus a counter
(10:04:57) BruderTux: the counter is curved and will carry a big Infinity-F
(10:05:52) BruderTux: we will use our old training hardware to demo
FC5, FDS and stuff like LVM2/GFS...
(10:06:20) BruderTux: A0 posters are currently produced at the
university of Basel (for free)
(10:06:30) BruderTux: Gregs DVDs have arrived
(10:07:16) BruderTux: we are going to sell them for 2EUR a piece to:
a) finance the booth extras, b) discourage people from just taking a
DVD and never using FC5.
(10:07:51) BruderTux: booth extas are things like: FC banner,
refreshments, maybe some barstools ...
(10:08:10) BruderTux: we have some 8 people on the booth.
(10:08:49) BruderTux: Gerold and I will take the lead. Dunja from Red
Hat HC will be here until friday to hire some people and get to know
FC better
(10:09:28) BruderTux: Some more developers wil come
(10:10:20) BruderTux: also Heinz Mauelshagen, Marcel Holtmann and some
others  will be on the booth
(10:10:28) BruderTux: so we should have a good presence.
(10:10:35) lxmaier: great
(10:10:39) lxmaier: Thank  you BruderTux
(10:10:40) BruderTux: I am still waiting for the T-Shirts (old design)
(10:11:01) BruderTux: Greg sent me the tracking code. They should
arrive tomorrow.
(10:11:09) lxmaier: BruderTux: we used to have some in the basement in
Munich--ask Karin S
(10:11:39) BruderTux: She is in France this week.
(10:11:53) lxmaier: Dirk, maybe?
(10:11:57) BruderTux: but since I need some stuff from munich anyway
(10:12:27) BruderTux: As well. There is a partner event in Nice.
(10:12:33) lxmaier: and there were blue "FUDCon" wristbands there
too--would you mind getting them all, and shipping whatever is left
over to us here?
(10:12:38) BruderTux: Markus Mitter is defending the base today?
(10:12:49) BruderTux: lxmaier, can do.
(10:13:03) lxmaier: BruderTux: feel free to sell them for 2 EUR each
(10:13:08) lxmaier: that's what we did
(10:13:20) lxmaier: okay, you odne, BruderTux?
(10:13:21) BruderTux: I have them in Stuttgart
(10:13:46) BruderTux: selling fucon wristbands without a fudcon is
pointless imho.
(10:13:49) BruderTux: Yes I am done.
(10:13:56) BruderTux: thanks for the mug BTW :)

(10:21:03) tchung: Ok.
(10:21:21) tchung: By now, everyone heard of FreeMedia Project
(10:21:43) tchung: Basically, it is a volunteer initiative under
Fedora Distribution Project that aims to distribute Fedora Core media
(DVDs) for free to individuals.
(10:22:01) tchung: URL is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia
(10:22:26) tchung: Since the Request Form is opened again, we had...
(10:22:40) tchung: close to 70 free media requests.
(10:23:06) tchung: I took care of most of requests from USA
(10:23:52) tchung: Some of them were taken care of via Sponsored
Media Program (thank you Karlie)
(10:24:11) tchung: but there are still many requests need to be fulfilled.

to help with the back log
(10:30:55) KarlieRobinson: But the problem we're having is getting the word out
(10:31:21) KarlieRobinson: The List serv group was asked to spread the
word, but all we got was 4 or so listings on vrious forums and news

the goal is to disseminate correct information.

(11:13:40) lxmaier: > gregdek
(11:14:08) gregdek: Shipping and customs are eating us alive, for what
it's worth.  PLEASE make sure that you get schwag requests in a month
ahead, and please be persistent.
(11:14:19) gregdek: And expect to see reduced numbers.
(11:14:20) eugene: !
(11:14:40) lxmaier: we're done with eugene's event
(11:14:43) gregdek: And expect to see a new proposal for schwag soon,
because the current mechanisms are costly and not nearly as effective
as we'd like.
(11:14:45) lxmaier: and with LinuxTag
(11:14:46) gregdek: eof
(11:14:48) lxmaier: next event

Fedora Project in general, the same as in Campux in April 11th. Will

days.

(11:15:51) gregdek: eof
(11:16:06) MrTom: i don't have any schwag, i asked for some but i was
answered that they won't be ready for the event
(11:16:06) lxmaier: then all the power to gregdek
(11:16:13) gregdek: !
(11:16:16) lxmaier: > gregdek

(11:17:41) gja: !
(11:17:48) lxmaier: is anyone present who absolutely needs to speak
about their event?
(11:17:52) lxmaier: > gja
(11:18:10) gja: ok, since we are done with the events
(11:18:20) gja: I would like to make a suggestion about the meetings
(11:18:41) gja: saying `!` doesn't always work, as sometimes we lose
the continuity
(11:18:49) gja: may I suggest a `!r`
(11:19:03) gja: when you are trying to reply to something currently being said
(11:19:08) gja: case in point
(11:19:14) lxmaier: point taken
(11:19:29) gja: oh, ok, no example then
(11:19:30) gja: EOF
(11:19:46) lxmaier: as i am the one who has to deal with the protocol,
increasing complexity will not help. i will think about it though.
(11:19:55) gregdek: !
(11:19:59) lxmaier: final item for today:
(11:20:02) lxmaier: Schwag pipeline and a Standard Ambassadors
Survival Kit    GregDeKoenigsberg    May 8th, 2006   Need to make sure
that the schwag pipeline is functional. This is separate from the
actual stuff we send; this is just making sure that the stuff we send
actually gets to the places it needs to go.
(11:20:02) lxmaier: We need a standard "kit" for all Ambassadors;
DVDs, promotional materials, and schwag
(11:20:06) lxmaier: > gregdek ^2
(11:20:15) gregdek: Schwag:
(11:20:21) gregdek: Goal is still May 8th.
